On the morning of August 18th, at 0900 hours, Wang Zhong arrived at the Expeditionary Force's base.
All troops had formed up on the parade ground, and as soon as Wang Zhong got out of the car, a thunderous "Hoorah" rang out.
Wang Zhong glanced at Popov, "I haven't said anything yet, haven't even approached the podium, what are they hoorah-ing for?"
Popov replied, "You'll get used to it, the Propaganda Department exaggerated your victory into a great triumph again."
Pavlov urged, "Let's go, time is tight, you need to see all the units assigned to us this morning and understand their situation."
Wang Zhong looked at Pavlov, suppressed the desire to ridicule, and walked toward the troops.
As the troops clearly saw his face, they shouted with even more vigor.
I have to say, it was quite exhilarating, almost like becoming Napoleon himself.
